This looks more like it...



They look nice on the R.

Wonder how they would look on the gti but obviously in 18s.  :wink:

What widths and offsets are you gents running with,

Will I get away with an 8.5J, ET45 (i.e 6mm less inner clearance, 19mm less outer) ??

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone answer the above ?

I'm looking to replace the stock 18" monzas but keep the tyres if possible, what width are the monzas ?

Stock Monzas are 7.5" wide and have an offset of 51mm

You'll get away with 8" width up to around ET45 running the standard 225/40/18 tyres.
I did run ET41 on mine for a while though which didn't catch but that was on standard suspension, if lowered it might be a bit too close to the arch.

Great thanks for the info.

So 8.5" width would stretch the tyres, a good idea or not ?

8.5 would be a VERY tight fit and it depends on if you like the stretch look.
I'm not a fan but then again I'm old and untrendy  :whistle:

When you say tight fit are you talking about the tyre fitting on the rim or wheel arch ?

Some wheels I'm looking at are 9.5inch rears which I'm guessing will need wider tyres.

Thanks

A bit of both really!

9.5 will need camber and possible arch rolling I'd think, never mind the tyre stretch.
